Psalms 122

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

2 Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

3 Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

4 For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

Kumeneko ndiye kumene kumapita mafuko, mafuko a Yehova, umboni wa kwa Israeli, kuti atamande dzina la Yehova.

5 For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

Kumeneko anayikako mipando yaufumu yachiweruzo, mipando yaufumu ya nyumba ya Davide.

6 Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu: “Iwo amene amakukonda iwe zinthu ziwayendere bwino.

7 Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

Mukhale mtendere mʼkati mwa makoma ako, ndipo mʼnyumba zako zaufumu mukhale chitetezo.”

8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzati, “Mtendere ukhale mʼkati mwako.”

9 For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!

Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.
